What the company did
Nok Nok Labs was a founding member of the FIDO Alliance and a pioneer of passwordless authentication software. Founded in 2011, its platform delivered FIDO-compliant software supporting UAF and FIDO2 protocols, enabling seamless passwordless login across digital channels for enterprises including Verizon and Intuit, with customers across the US, Asia, and Europe. In June 2025 it was acquired by OneSpan, which combined Nok Nok's software platform with its hardware offerings (FIDO2 security keys, Digipass, Cronto transaction signing) into a unified authentication portfolio.
